Healing is the original, innate self-help program. That capability resides within each and every living, breathing human being. We first need to understand that healing is synonymous with change. Perhaps the thing you may need to heal/change is a toxic relationship, or perhaps it is a career that has gone awry and keeps you embroiled in physically dangerous stress, or a body that is sick. Although much of what I am sharing here applies to all kinds of healing, I want to specifically talk about physical healing of our body.
I believe from the depths of my soul, that the ancient Chinese teaching about the cause of dis-ease in our bodies, whatever name allopathic medicine may choose to apply, is anything that causes our body to get out of biochemical balance. For many hundreds of years Chinese medicine has taught that our body has an innate energy system that runs through meridian lines, with a series of energy centers they call chakras, and that it is blockages in the flow of that energy which is the root cause of physical ailments of all kinds.
They also believe that the breath is the "engineer" of our self-healing system. In Genesis the Bible says that God breathed the breath of life into Adam and he became a living soul. It seems clear that the evidence of the very existence of life itself is our breath. The first breath demonstrates the beginning of life as we know it, and the absence of the breath is indicative of death. Since the breath demonstrates life, I believe it is an outward manifestation of what religionists call the soul.
Many things about our physicality can be altered by learning to control and/or manipulate our breath. The Chinese combined their body energy theory with this the breath theory and many hundreds of years ago developed the self-healing combination of breath and body movements that today we call Qi Gong.
In previous posts I have shared with you my own discovery of the power of Qi Gong practice to improve my Primary Progressive MS symptoms. Today, 17 years later, I am symptom free and continue my daily Qi Gong practice. I have also experienced physical healings of other problems over this period of years. Qi Gong has been a major healing tool for me.
But there are other important healing tools also. Remember that all we must do is return our body to a state of perfect biochemical balance for it to become whole again. A major healing tool is meditation. I believe that all healing in some way emanates from the soul level. So we can see the connection between Qi Gong and meditation. Actually Qi Gong is often called a moving meditation.
All who are serious about meditation will tell you that the ultimate goal of meditation is to connect with our soul, higher self, or whatever we choose to call our connection to the Universe. Some would call that God. I choose to call it the Universe or My Source.
I have written much in the past about the power of our attitude, belief, and our intention. All are important and set the stage for healing. When does healing actually take place?
One of my mentors, Dr. Wayne Dyer, talks about "sa-tor-i," rhymes with eye, which means instant awakening. He says that all healing takes place in an instant. But of course it may take us years to get to that instant. Then he smiles and reminds us that we get to choose when that instant will be. I was not aware when my own MS transformation occurred. I just realized one day that the symptoms were gone.
All aspects of self-healing apply not only to physical problems, but to whatever else in our life we may need to change. Please emember that our mindset, discipline, belief, and commitment determine how our life turns out.
I refer all readers to Dr. Wayne Dyer's latest book, Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting.
